We have 10000 miles of railroad

AN ERR1NG Sons REMoRsE.-The Phil
adelphia News tells the following pathetic
story: In the large congregation which
gathered in st. Stephens Episcopal church,
a few Sundays ago, was man, evidently a
tramp. His face was scanned with the lines
brought by dissipation and his manner was
restless and nervous. His shabby clothes
some attire of those among whom he sat.
When DR.. Wood, the blind organist touch
ed the keys of his instrument and began to
play soft, sweet melody, as voluntary,
the mans eyes filled with tears and he
buried his face in his hands. During the
singing of the verses which Immediately
precede the recital of the Litany, an invo-
cation of the Saviour for pity, the man be-
came more unnerved, and those around
him could hear his short, quick breathing,
and perceive that he was weeping. But the
climax was reached when the officiating
clergyman began to read the Command
ments and the choir sang the responses.
When DIR. Mcconnell solemnly read: /:
days may be long in the land" etc., the
man could restrain himself no longer. He
broke out into sobs, and in his emotion
cried out audibly, so that all around could
hear him: "Would to God that I had done
80! would not be what am now" His
emotion touched deeply many people in the
vast congregation, who wondered what the
story was hid away in this mans life.
GossIPING.-The man or woman who
is guilty of gossiping is to be dreaded by
all truthful minds, for the practice of it
works infinite harm. 1t is hurtful to the
sensitive mind. The confirmed gossip is
nearly always malicious or ignorant. The
young should shun it by the most thor
ough culture, and relieve themselves from
temptation to indulge in it. 1t is low,
frivolous, and too often hurtful pastime.
There are some neighborhoods where it
RACES like pest, and like an excrescence
mars the beauty and excellence of the
human character. Of all characters, rid
US of the gossip; no one admires him or
her. 1t is an unhappy community where
the practice of gossiping exists. AS we
have said, it can be cured by culture.

routes could be made with profit. There is
q star route in Idaho wherein dog is made
to serve as mail carrier. A portion of the
route over the mountains is impossible in
winter, and the contractors st. Bernard dog
has been trained to make the trip at such
times. The distance is little more than
ten miles, and it has to be traversed once
every second day, and doggy is always on
time. Down in Texas there is star route
ninety-five miles long across the plains, on
which there is daily service, although but
two small settlements are served. The
route extends from Poisedio to Alameto
and Fort Davis.
Another star route across the plains in
Texas, over which daily service is made, is
the route from Tayati to Saragora and Fort
Stockton, distance seventy-fve miles. The
purpose of these two routes is to get the
mails daily to the forts, and the service costs
many thousands of dollars more than the
revenues amount to, they being insigniti-
cant. 1t is such expensive but necessary
routes as these that draw on the great ex-
cesses of revenues above expenditure of the

AN INTERESTING LAW PoINT.-An ap-
peal, in rather peculiar case, has just gone
before the supreme court of Arkansas.
John Bogworth, of Washington came to
Little Rock some time ago and entered into
business. Recently he went back to his ma
tive village, having replaced his slouch hat
for rather high-crown derby. When the
companions of his youth saw him wearing
the hat they provided themselves with bean
shooters. and began to shoot holes through
it. Finally, one buckshot, ranging a trifie
too low, plowed furrow across the top OF
Johns head. Bogworth had the fellow ar
raigned before Justice of the peace.
y I" Is this the hat you wore?" the justice
asked.
- eyes, sir"
:, .sAnd the buckshot that made that hole is
the one that plowed you, eh ?''
eyes, your honor"
The justice, after few moments refec-
ton, said:
4 "It is the opinion of this court that the
plaintiff in this case laid himself liable, and
that If he had not pulled his hat down so far
the buckshot would have simply gone
through the hat without hitting him."
An appeal to the circuit court resulted in
confirmation of the decision of the court
below, and then an appeal to the supreme
court was taken. The final result Is awaited
with much interest.-Arkansdo Traveller.

VALUE OF COTTON SEED.-Sir J. B.
Lawes, of England, says that he has proved
that ton of cotton seed meal, costing $3l so
that was fed to his animals, added $2S.25 to
the value of manure they made. So he got
the feeding value for 1925. He is man
who makes experiments with care, and for
the purpose of positively knowing the facts
involved.
Another writer has proved very clearly
that ton of cotton seed boiled, and fed to
beeves, may be made to add to the animal
s25 in fat, flesh and selling value.
We have nodoubt that a ton of good cot
ton seed on the lands of the right man, may
give to the farmer in flesh, fat and manure,
from $40 to $50 in value, and yet farmers
are selling millions of bushels Of this valua-
BILE article at less than ten cents bushel--
81 bushels to the ton, So ton. And much
of this comes from poor lands that need fer
tilizing, and from farms where cattle in the
winter have neither bed nor shelter.

NoURIsHMENT IN AN EGG.-"Eggs are
indigestible," the landlord tells you in rural
New England, and offers you fried beefsteak
and saleratus as substitute.
Don't raise 'em round here except acci-
dental like" was the report Of Western
landlord, while in the South delicious fried
chicken may be had, but how seldom the
egg, the beginning of all chickens.
"They are not Substantial enough" is the
verdict in other directions. "If could af-
ford them, don't suppose the boys would
think they had made meal unless they ate
five or six"
For this conclusion she herselfi is probably
responsible. If"the boys" had been taught
in the beginning that the amonnt of nour-
ishmentin an egg is equivalent to quarter
of pound Of cooked beef, they would have
learned to feel that four could hardly be es-
sential, and that two were really good
meal. AS to their indigestibility, it is not
the egg that is in fault, but the manner of
that are taken with it. Weboil and fry and
turn out leathery omelets when required,
but know few of the possibilities of we'll
prepared eggs The poorest peasants of
southern Europe, France, Spain, Italy,
Greece, can prepare an omelet, juicy, savo-
ry and light or serve you eggs in dozen
other ways, and there is every reason why
we should follow their example; dispense
with the inordinate amount of meat we eat,
and thus with some of the diseases produced
by too much meat, and make breakfast less
of a problem to the anxious housekeeper.
With fresh fruit, wheat in grainlet or some
other form, good coffee and eggs, there is
certainly both variety enough and nourish-
ment enough for even hard working man,
and the cost at most is no more than that of
meat. and for much of the year far less

VJNHE immense amount Of Life Insurance car
i ried in this country makes it Of National
importance that heads Of families should be able
to secureit as cheaply possible consistent with
safety. Especially is this necessary for the mil
lions Of men in moderate circumstances, who
must earn their living by hard knocks and in
the face of competition that is becoming keen
er and sharper every day.
If life insurance is not safe it is not worth car
rying and if it is too costly, the men who most
need it cannot carry it all. How to make it both
safe and cheap is the problem of the day, and he
who solves it will have donea great and patriot
ic service for his fellow men. The Old Line
Companies are certainly safe when honestly
managed, but their rates are so high, that only
the rich can afford to carry such an amount as
would provide for family while the great mass
of men, and those, too, whose families most need
protection, are compelled to go without insur-
ance, or seek it in the assessment companies or
secret orders. The fact that these cheaper insti-
tutions to-day furnishing more Insurance
than all the Old Line companies combined, shows
how eager are the mass Of citizens for insurance
that is within reach oftheir means. While these
orders and corporations are furnishing insurance
cheap enough, yet, at best, they can only be
looked upon as temporary expedients and not al
together satisfactory, Butt is plain, that some
where between the old line and assessment plans
there must be middle ground, which is not
only safe. but Just and tair to all parties.
| THE E1NTER-STATES LIFE ASSOCIATION
of Staunton, Va, has sought earnestly and hon
estly to find this middle ground. In this search
| they have, at large expense, consulted and en-
| ployed the foremost actuaries and insurance ex-
| perts in this country, and upon their recommen-
dation have adopted a line of rates which Is en-
tirely safe. and yet, is in the reach Of every
thrifty and industrious man who desires to pro-
tect his family against his death.
To ascertain this safe rate, they added to the
actual death cost experienced by the old line COM
panies an ample reserve. and then reasonable
| amount for expenses and profits hut 40 limited
as to compel economical management. So plain
and fair and popular are its methods that over
three millions Of business was done in the first
eight months work. Its rates are fixed, and
must be paid, deaths or no Deaths but are divided
into two, four, or six payments year, as may
best suit the convenience of the applicant.

THE FIRST SPRING LIE.-George Brown,
who lives up east of the Catholic church,
was reading mad-dog story over at Nick
O'Brien's grocery the other morning. He
thereupon proceeded to disgorge this lurid
tale: Once, when he lived in Ohio, he OBJ
served his valuable bird dog acting strange
ly. Securing the dog by stout chain to q
young tree, he waited to see what would
come of it. In less than two hours the dog
was raving mad. He few at the young tree
dog soon died. In about three weeks the
tree went mad. Its limbs waved and
thrashed about. and the bark fell off, and
the tree died in horrible agonies. Geneseo

FARM EXPERIMENTS.

Whatever may be the value of investiga-
tions at the public experiment stations, of
the several States instituting them, they are
no less valuable on the farm. Experiment
stations may demonstrate generally, but
each farmer to receive the best results from
these experiments, must also investigate
himself.
Here is case in point. An experiment
station Investigating the values of perhaps
twenty varieties of wheat, gives the several
values in that special climate and in that
soil. It does not follow that these varieties
stated to do best there will do so in another
locality, even though the soil may be simi-
lar, so far as the farmer may be able to Judge.
But the probability is they will do so aside
from liability to freeze out, mildeW, rust or
the occurrence of other disease. Expert
ments by the farmer may easily decide this.
How to do this most economically 1T is
we'll to know. The cheapest and best means
we have found, where small packages are
received for experiment, is to lay out the
land selected into regular plots, with space
between for separation, one from the other.
Sow the seed in regular drills one foot or
more apart. For wheat or rye the seed may
be dropped four to six inches apart, for bar
lev somewhat thicker, and for oats, say
three inches apart. These plots may easily
be kept clean, and careful record being
kept, fair determination of the several
values of the varieties may bearrived at.
But one seasons experiment does not sat-
isfy absolutely. AS soon as a yield is 90.
tained sufficient to SOW broadcast, or to drill
by machine, cultivate in the ordinary
manner. Thus, in few years, the value
of variety may be fairly determined, in
accordance with varying seasons. In the
meantime very little will have been lost in
conducting the experiments and each farm
er will have gotten varieties best adapted
to his climate and situation.
In the same manner the farmer may ex-
pertinent in relation to the application OF
fertilizers for special crops, or thick or thin,
early or late seeding, or methods of seeding,
methodist cultivation, etc., etc. In exam
lining varieties with a view of forming an
opinion as to comparative values, the habit,
growth, appearance of the plant and the
grain must be taken into careful considera-
ton. The time of seeding will also be a
necessary record, especially since earliness
in ripening is one of the most important
values in variety of grain. If these points
are carefully written down they will form a
most valuable record in determining the
actual value of a grain or plant after several
years cultivation, under which its average
value, one year with another, may be cor
rectly estimated.-Farm, Field and Stock
